VENTED ENCLOSURE RECCOMENDATIONS

SEALED ENCLOSURE RECOMMENDATIONS

SEALED

VOLUME(cu.ft.)

SPL 0.75

Normal 1.1

SQ 1.5

SPL = More overall output and compact enclosure size, but sacrices some low bass and smooth overall output

Normal = Recommended for most listeners. Excellent blend of low bass, accurate and strong overall output

SQ = Smooth and exceptional low bass output, but larger enclosure size and sacrices some overall output

Additional Notes:

• For vented enclosures a subsonic lter set at 30Hz to 40Hz is highly recommended.

• Sealed enclosure volumes INCLUDE THE DISPLACEMENT of the subwoofer.

• Vented enclosure volumes INCLUDE THE DISPLACEMENT of the subwoofer. But DO NOT include

displacement of the vent.

• In many cases, a 4 inch round vent/port can be used instead of a rectangle/slot vent. This can reduce the vent

length and simplify the enclosure construction. However, in some rare cases at high power a small amount of

port noise maybe audible. The provided slot/rectangle ports will provide maximum performance and the most

predictable results. Contact technical support for additional enclosure options.

Subwoofer Owner’s Manual

• 1000w to 1200w RMS is the optimal power range for any Ti3X subwoofer. In a sealed or vented enclosure, the

woofer will play to its full potential with very high reliability.

• Powering an Ti3X woofer with more than 1200w RMS will create excess heat in the motor and voice coil with

minimal additional output.

• Contrary to popular car audio myths, subwoofers do not need as much power as you think. A well engineered

subwoofer such as the Ti3X that has the proper balance of efficiency, compliance and excursion will reach

extremely loud levels with much less power than most users would expect. Practice safe sound.

100w 1000w 1200w1w 2000w

MINIMUM POWER RANGE:

Sub will perform correctly

but not to its full potential.

OPTIMAL POWER RANGE:

Sub will perform to its full

potential with maximum reliability.

DANGEROUS POWER RANGE:

Damage will occur during any

extended period of playing time.

Optimal Power Range

LED Terminal: The small terminal located on the side of the basket labeled “LED” powers the LEDs. Only use 12v and Ground. Do not use the amplier’s

speaker output, it will damage the LEDs.

Spare LED Assembly: Every Ti3X subwoofer includes 2

spare LED assembllies. Be sure to keep it for future use if necessary.

Changing LED Colors: The spare assembly has blue LEDs. The PCB is intentionally not glued to the plastic triangle yet, so users have the option of removing

the blue LEDs and soldering in different color LEDs. Most standard 3mm LEDs will work ne as direct replacements.

LED ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION STEPS:

1. Remove the three dustcap screws and unplug the wire harness. Note: There is a very small dot of glue that holds the male/female connectors together.

2. If different color LEDs have been soldered to the spare PCB, plug in the PCB to verify the new LEDs work correctly.

3. Glue the PCB to the plastic triangle with high temperature glue. The circle area where the PCB and plastic triangle meet should be air tight. Use plenty of glue

and check the original LED assembly as a reference. Let the glue dry.

4. Plug in the PCB. Place a very small drop of glue across the top of the male and female connectors so it holds them together.

5. Place the LED assembly into the dustcap, carefully arrange the wire in the dustcap recess so it can not rattle or vibrate.

6. Apply a very small amount of Loctite 222 (Purple: Low Strength - Small Screw) to each screw. Only a very small amount is needed, just covering the last two

threads of the screw is enough.

7. Tighten the three screws so they are snug and LED assembly sits tight and ush against the dustcap. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

8. Wait 24 hours for the Loctite and PCB glue to dry completely. Then enjoy.

LED ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION KEY POINTS:

• Do not over tighten the three mounting screws

• Make sure to let the LED assembly glue and Loctite 222 dry for one day before using

• Use a small amount Loctite 222 on the last two threads of the screws, do not use glue

• Place a very small drop of glue across the top of the male and female connectors so it holds them together
